John John pulls out of Pipe Dec 6, 2018 View this post on Instagram Feeling really good to get back in the water the last couple weeks. I think I’m close to 100%, but I'm not there yet. I noticed this week that I still don’t have full trust in my movements, which has always been my test for returning to competition. The Pipe Masters is my favorite contest on tour so it’s a really difficult decision, but I am going to withdraw from the event. Wishing everyone luck out there!! It has been insane watching everyone send it during this last swell!!

No announcement has been made on a replacement as yet.
